Actually Myka I think he said his skimmer is sucking out a lot not vice versa
 Which is a good thing. Myka is right though. That crushed coral will turn into a detrius magnet and totally drive you nuts. I cultivated the world best 250 gallon hair algae display until I changed mine. Went with a medium sand that my Gobies and other sifters like. Dropped my lawn mower in the tank  and within a few months and a couple thousand gallons of water changes, all was well.

From the pic it looks to me like coraline (which is good) algae is starting to grow on the rocks.

Looks like you have sunlight shinning on the tank. Does the sun at any point hit the tank. I know when my tank was upstairs, the sunlight would barely touch one corner during the winter and that corner would always turn that bright colour of green. Hope this helps.

looks like cyano bacteria to me. You have a couple options I wont really go into detail however you can:
shut off lights for a few days do large WC lessen the feeding Antibiotic treatment like use bluecross red slime remover,or chemiclean add sugar The last two are pretty good however if you have any filter feeders I would not go with antibiotic treatment. I like sugar the best as it's not harmfull to anything I used 2 tablespoons per 50g and after 3 days did a 50% WC. good luck, Chris

When I first started my tank, I wanted about 2-3 weeks to get some snails. I got 5-6 turbo snails and they just kept any nuisance algea from growing in the tank. They are still doing a good job and I'm getting some nice coraline growth all over the tank, the heater has some nice purple spots on it.
